Simple theoretical models predict some - but not all - aspects of the experimental evolution of antibiotic resistance

Elin Lilja, Rosalind J. Allen, Bartłomiej Waclaw

The paper tests a birth-death-mutation model's ability to predict antibiotic resistance evolution in experiments, finding it partially successful with model modifications improving predictions.

A roadblock-and-kill model explains the dynamical response to the DNA-targeting antibiotic ciprofloxacin

Nikola Ojkic, Elin Lilja, Susana O. L. Direito…·Bartłomiej Waclaw

The paper develops a roadblock-and-kill model to explain how E. coli responds dynamically to ciprofloxacin, showing that DNA replication blockage, not the SOS response, drives growth inhibition.
